Quoting "However, there is currently something of a resurgence of interest in these cars as the rear wheel drive makes them suitable for drifting."
According to a friend who owns one of these and uses it for autocross, he said with the gearbox mounted at the rear, that makes the car too overbalanced for drifting and whoever wrote this should ask himself this, if they are so popular, then why drifting events dosen't feature them on a regular basis, even if they are cheap to buy? I therefore removed that bit above where it was quoted.

These cars aren't used in any proffesional drifting competition as far as I know, that much is true. But they are somewhat popular amongst so-called trampdrifters primarily because, like the ford sierra, they are dirt cheap and can be discarded when they break down (which most do after a fair bit of abuse). 85.159.100.224 06:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

The Volvo 300 series was designed by DAF's in-house designer John de Vries, not by Michelotti. There was a design contest where Michelotti competed in, but DAF went for De Vries' design.
